You can get reasonably good quality 200+ah Lithiums (LiFePO) on ebay and amazon now for like $150-200. Check out Will Prowse YT channel, he tears down batteries and reviews them. This one he was very...

Are BMWs really that bad? Been looking at getting a town car to add to my single vehicle of an Express camper van (2seats). I want something sorta sporty with a manual transmission and RWD or AWD....

moment doesnt advise against different mount points, there are even markings on the ski for -2 to +2. If you chat with them they will say go wherever you feel best. Its the zealots on this thread...

Buy Tour Wraps

Yeah, unfortunately $800+ for blems is not my market at the moment. Good stock on the sale section though.

Wanted to throw my experience in here too even though OP decided already.I've used Shimano SLX and Deore (which are the exact same function as XT) for years and really liked them. But last year I...

When does Moment usually start their spring/end of season sale? Looking at either a Wildcat Tour as a 50/50 sidecountry ski with Tectons or a DWT104 for hard snow touring. I'd gladly pay full boat...

Anybody holding a pair of toes? Snapped my crampon mounts off both of mine skinning up a super firm slope with non-centered crampons

Finally had my dynafit crampons bite me. I snapped off the crampon attachments of my MTNs and need some new ones (and I’ll finally buy MTN/Plum crampons that self-center).

Also consider a full...

Yeah tell my Express AWD its bad off road- it (and I) will laugh at you. I've gotten to some stupid campsites with that thing, dragging the frame and hitch across slick rock in Utah, bombing up and...

Clearly you should have taken a lap after they corrected your lenses. You obviously weren't seeing things correctly if you bought nothing.

Didn’t find it in the search. My MTN had a riser issue and it’s not just the floppy pins. The square plate the risers are connected to is loose and can move around, the rest of the tower is solid. If...

112 or 104 regular version, non tour.


Not picky on condition but not wanting totally trashed skis. Multiple mounts are fine, I’ll be putting Shifts on these. I ski 90% backcountry on my DWT 184...

North Umpqua is super fun. IMBA Epic (if that means anything to you), lots of camping around, guide company drives your rig from camp site to camp site so you have all your stuff.

No Stroopwafels yet at my Costco. I usually buy 4-6 boxes and use them all year as ski tour/mtb snacks.

I just want to say bravo for helping your wife get to full completion, too many husbands neglect this after being together as long as you have been. If only we could all witness it!

Where are people refilling their airbag canisters? RambleRaven went under, no more dive shops in Spokane. Is everybody going to the scuba place in CDA or Sandpoint?

What's the word on dirtbag winter van camping around Red? Any off the radar sno-parks? Got a whole crew (6 adults, 2 kids, 3 dogs, all in 3 vans) coming up Mid-Jan and having trouble finding places...

Hot waxed chains is the only answer here. I’ve been riding all fall/winter now, multiple times a week and my chain, derailleur, and cassette look brand new. No grime or grit at all. Took me all of 5...

Here's the Printables link:

That is awesome! My library allows free printing but I think it’s individual pieces not...

I searched but our search is hot garbage.

Recommendations on a bearing press kit for full suspensions? Maybe some hubs also but mostly suspension service. I've already got a headset press and...

Anybody been on the Woodsman 100 Tours? I'm looking for a harder-snow touring DD for longer days and non-powder conditions to my Moment DWT (112) and the DWT104 are a little heavier than I'd like,...

Is YT the only brand offering half-zip legs on MTB pants? I'm real fucking tired of stripping pantsless in the parking lot all sweaty after a ride just to take my pads off. But $129 is a lot for...

Solid advice everybody on my roofing issue. I think I'm just going to go with the GAF self-adhering rolls. it looks like a way better system than the non-adhesive rolls I've got up there now just...

Thanks, all. Yes, snow load is an issue, Luckily this flat roof isn't over finished areas, just an open breezeway and a 1.5car garage. I'll look at EPDM too, was just thinking standing seam metal...

What's the cheapest/easiest option for low-pitch roofing?

My garage/breezeway is 1:12 pitch, currently has multiple layers of rolled asphalt and it's leaking horribly, wanting to pull it all off...

Most are, yes. There are some that have a pocket coil system as the base layer, and I think this is vastly superior. The only qualm about latex is that it doesn't breathe very well, but I think...

I'd highly recommend building a mattress yourself out of the parts.

You'll need:

Zip-up cover
Base foam or springs
Support layer
Top layer

I built my own premium latex that would have...

'cause most folks in here drive their $45k Tacoma with $20k accessories (and a 4.5' bed) to the bike park lot and then just hang out showing off their Yeti or SC rather than actually riding? /s

DT350's need bearing replacements? Pretty sure mine will last through the apocalypse without any maintenance.

If you've got the wheels for it (17"+) doing the 5th Gen brake swap upgrade was a game-changer on my 4th gen. I was chasing seized calipers on my '08 for several years, ended up having to do...

You're forgetting ski capris and also GorePro booty shorts as viable options.

I've posted a couple times about these- theyre awesome. An improvement over the AT3 in every way. Snow traction is way better, treadwear is awesome, dead silent on everything except pitted concrete...

Smallest footprint option is to invest in mass transit options such as electric bus and rail, to emphasize urban and suburban density to reduce transit distances, and to increase safety and...

These look like the LT/Truck version of the new Road+Trail that replaced the AT3-4S (the P-metric version of the AT3XLT). So I'd guess they're very similar to my Road+trail in compound and...

Good timing! I sent my Zeb to them a couple weeks ago and they called me about it today. Said my mis-alignment was a "3.5 out of 5" in their experience and was adding significant stiction. I had...

Wild. I set my new $40 Deore derailleur and $20 Deore shifter and turn the barrel adjuster two clicks after about 10 miles. Then I never touch it again for 1000+

Yeah you've got the right idea, I'd bet on the 60a breaker being faulty. If you want to rule out the ground short, disconnect the cable from the positive tap and do a continuity test against a good...

Just got the email we've all been expecting for a while now:

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE

I'm honestly surprised they made it this long after the bike market collapsed.

BB92 was the Giant standard for their 2017-2020 bikes, I'm almost sure it still is.

Stock, it’s not. You need to buy some parts but it’s cheap and easy. The results are incredible I can’t believe this is the same mower.

Here’s a good overview with the parts needed:...

100% agree.



Updating my post after a summer of mowing- ended up replacing the battery on my EGO and did the $40 conversion from single blade to double high lift blade- this thing is awesome...

Just submitted my service request for Diaz to custom tune and overhaul my Zeb. I swapped in a Fox 38 to see if I like it better and it feels even harsher than my Zeb. I'd open the 38 air spring and...

It's really too bad DB didn't continue to invest in their mountain bikes, by 2018-2019 they were firmly atop the DTC budget quality bike game and had adopted some forward-thinking geometry and specs....

Solid beta, thanks Toast. Yeah I looked at the Fernie provincial park and will probably just pay for a site. With the currency exchange it’s like $22/night.

Heading to Nelson/Fernie/Whitefish loop next week and wondering about dispersed camping around Nelson/Fernie. ALso any updated trail recs at Fernie from this thread a few years ago?
Thanks

I wear a Patagonia Houdini Air and it’s awesome. If you’re pedaling in the rain (anything less than a steady rain), your interior moisture is probably higher than exterior anyway, so having good DWR...

In- I had a bout of bad luck lately that is due for a turnaround- gotta even things out right?

The new RS SD Coil (the one with Hydraulic Bottom Out) is actually quite adjustable, and RS only makes a couple tunes for them, so likely you'd be able to make it work without much trouble.
